TV I Currently Watch: Outside of Doctor Who and a handful of cartoons (Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time when I have the chance), not really anything.

I think it's a matter of the episode's writing putting the moral way too simplisticly. It's more like Ember is better suited to be a leader because she thinks things through and sees the value in not being a jerk for the sake of being a jerk.

Y'know, Twilight doesn't have to be Kryptonian-levels of powerful to fight back. She could have tripped them with some magic, or teleport out of the way. Heck, she could use that transformation spell to turn into a dragon. Or the sandworm. Or a banana peel Garble could slip on.
